North College Hill residentssoon will be able to get a quickglance at what’s happeningaround the city.

Matt Miller-Novak, along withseveral other members of the serv-ice segment of the group ChangeNCH are putting together a websiteslated to be online June 1.

Miller-Novak was a ChangeNCH-backed candidate in 2009,along with several others support-ed by the political action commit-tee.

Aptly namednewsonthehill.com, the designincludes highlighting businesses,events, people and where to findinformation about the city.

“It will be as apolitical as possi-ble,” Miller-Novak said. “Whatwe’re really looking for is inputfrom residents, businesses, mem-bers of groups and students tocontribute to the site.”

He said that could range frompoetry, essays, church and civicevents, as well as council meetingminutes.

“We want residents to feel it’stheir website as well as ours,” hesaid.

With help from a websitedesigner friend, Miller-Novak isbeing assisted in the project byGeorge Hilleary, Jason Foley andNick Link.

He said the site will premierwith a business video feature on

Humbert’s Meats.“We’d like to have a quiz about

a local business with a $20 giftcertificate prize,” Miller-Novaksaid.

“We have the skeleton of thewebsite and will be enhancing itas we go along. That’s why weneed people to contribute to it.”

The website isn’t all Miller-Novak has planned for the city.

Along with the PassagesGallery, an art gallery at GoodmanElementary School that he isworking with the school districtwith, Miller-Novak is putting hisown artistic prowess to work.

He and school district art stu-dents plan to create a mural forGrace Avenue side of Van ZandtRestaurant and Tavern, 1810 W.Galbraith Road, this summer.

The business has been the siteof several fundraisers for thegallery.

Miller-Novak said he hopes tohave the gallery open in earlySeptember.

They started with avocado and ended withzucchini as they sampled their way throughthe alphabet.

Healthy Food Fridays wrapped up for fifth-graders at Whitaker Elementary School with asmorgasbord of 26 different foods.

Kathy Dolle cooked up the healthy eatingidea for her class, starting in September. Shewas looking for a way to incorporate not onlyhealthy eating but also teach her students thenutritional values of food.

“The children were so excited and wouldtry to guess what the next food item wouldbe,” Dolle said.

There were a few ground rules for themonthly Friday food fare, Dolle said.

“Nobody had to taste anything they didn’twant to,” she said. “They did have to look,smell and touch, but not taste.

“Secondly, everyone had to be respectful ofothers’ taste preferences. The word nastycould never be uttered.”

Students could substitute adjectives like

unusual or different or tasty.Dolle said nearly all of her class of 22 tried

all 26 food items and most of those, she said,wanted a second helping of the toothpick-sized samples.

Dolle, with help from a Finneytown Educa-tional Foundation grant, bought all the differ-ent foods and prepared them herself.

A few of the more exotic foods includedinjera, a flat bread traditionally eaten inEthiopia; jicama, a root vegetable sometimescalled a Mexican turnip; quinoa a South Amer-ican grain; and xigua, a tasty fruit similar towatermelon.

“I really liked the injera the best, I think,”said fifth-grader Jesse Cobbs. “It has an excit-ing taste that’s savory.”

While fifth-grader Gorgeous Campbell

admitted she had declined the avocado in theguacamole dip, classmate Matthew Dobsonsaid it was great.

“It’s my favorite,” he said. “It’s not saltyand has a pleasant taste and I really like thegreen color.”

To celebrate the end of the project, Dolle’sclass invited a few special guests to see whatthey’d been cooking up.

Guests included members of the Finney-town school board and the district’s WellnessCommittee. Laura Horn is both, plus she’s anutritionist.

“I was excited to see what the studentswere doing,” she said while waiting to samplethe fare.

“It’s important to incorporate nutrition intoour schools any way we can.”

Nicholas Broomfield is sup-posed to graduate fromFinneytown High School onJune 3.

Instead, he has a$250,000 bond, accused oftargeting someone selling aPlayStation 3 on the popu-lar Internet sales websiteCraigslist.

Springfield Townshippolice thwarted the May 11robbery just in time, arrest-ing Broomfield and threejuveniles after spottingthem in the vacant housewhere they had lured theseller, according to police.

It’s the second localinstance of a Craigslist salegone wrong and comes onthe heels of a Washingtoncase that made nationalheadlines when a manwhose family was selling adiamond ring on Craigslistwas fatally shot during arobbery of the ring.

On May 18, two men areaccused of luring a man toNorth Fairmount on the pre-tense of buying a $500Chevrolet Cavalier. Whenthe 26-year-old Walton, Ky.man arrived, he was beat upand robbed at gunpoint.

At Broomfield’s bondhearing May 25, the teen’s

lawyer, Darin Barber,argued this was out of char-acter for his client – whohas no criminal record. Bar-ber called the crime“strange.”

That comment raisedHamilton County MunicipalJudge Bernie Bouchard’s ire.He said crimes againstCraigslist sellers havebecome all too common.

“This isn’t strange atall,” Bouchard said. “Peopleput things on Craigslist andthen people come and robthem.”

In the Springfield Town-ship robbery, officers saidthat earlier this monthBroomfield and three juve-niles answered Ngok Thai’sCraigslist advertisement fora PlayStation 3. Theydirected Thai to an aban-doned building on Monsan-to Drive on May 11.

By chance, officerscaught the teens inside thehouse before Thai arrivedand sent them home,according to court records.Then Thai arrived, explain-ing he thought he wasgoing to sell his video gamesystem.

The teens later admittedthey were plotting to robThai, according to courtrecords.

Talk to valedictorians ortop high school graduates,and a pattern begins toemerge: “start early, workhard, motivate yourself.”

Those have been watch-words for Mount HealthyHigh School 2010 valedic-torian Brandon Okel.

And they have paid off.“I have been working

toward this goal since fresh-man year,” he said. “It wasmy top goal.”

Okel, the son of Bev Okeland Steve Okel, had topacademic performance ashis top goal, but he foundtime to enjoy the workalong the way.

He was on the varsitygolf team, and has playedbasketball, baseball, andwas a member of theNational Honor Society,Beta Club, Key Club, theGerman Honor Society andwas a drummer for themarching band, concertband and pep band.

Okel is headed for theUniversity of Cincinnati tostudy architectural engi-

neering, where he has agood head start. Thanks topostsecondary options, he isleaving high school with 33college credit hours.

Okel said the challengeat the college level is tomotivate yourself. He’s

looking forward to the inde-pendence college brings.

“It will be nice to be

doing work because youwant to do it, not for gradesto get into college,” he said.“Now, it will be learning forlearning’s sake.”

Okel identified twostrong influences besideshis parents as he reflects onhis high school years.

He says his youth pastor,Alton Alexander at theVineyard, was a stronginfluence during his highschool years.

He also credits MountHealthy’s new footballcoach Arvie Crouch, wholetting him work as a stu-dent assistant in his senioryear.

In fact, while Okel gradu-ates from Mount HealthyHigh School this spring, hewill still return to the district

this fall. He will be coachingmiddle school football forthe district.

“I love coaching,” hesaid. “It’s a chance to teachkids to succeed. If all myseventh-graders remain eli-gible for the entire season, Iwill consider that a winningseason. Football is a greattool to help kids get readyfor life.”

Okel confesses he’d loveto coach football as a career,

but he’s pursuing the engi-neering degree as a fallbackposition.

“It’s good to have abackup plan,” he said.

His speech is ready. He’sready. When asked what’sthe most memorable highschool moment, he saysthis is it.

“Graduation. That’s whatI think I will remember themost. I am excited to moveon to what’s next.”

Doug Bertram standsmore than a foot taller thanLois Minton, but he looksup to her when he thinksabout his future.

Bertram, a technologysupport technician at Win-ton Woods City Schools, willreceive a kidney nextmonth from Minton, afourth-grade teacher whomhe barely knew - untilrecently.

Bertram, a 48-year-oldfather of two, suffers frompolycystic kidney disease,in which cysts form on kid-neys, impeding their func-tion. There is no cure, butdialysis and a transplantcan lengthen and improvehis life.

Bertram of SpringfieldTownship inherited the ill-ness from his mother, whodied in 2000 at age 68 after12 years of dialysis but notransplant.

In recent years, the ill-ness has sapped Bertram’senergy, making it hard tomaintain energy for his full-time job and hobbies.

Minton, who has taughtelementary school for 27years, heard from a co-worker about Bertram’s ill-ness and learned that hisonly sister wasn’t a matchfor a transplant. His brother,who has diabetes, isn’t acandidate either.

When Bertram stoppedby her class earlier this year,Minton volunteered one ofher kidneys.

“She told me, ‘I’m amatch. Just stay positive.I’m a match.” And, sureenough, she was,” he saidWednesday. “I wasn’t sureat first if she was really seri-ous. But she made it clearshe was serious. She tookthe ball and ran with it.”

Minton, 54, answered alist of initial health ques-tions, got tested for kidneystones, had her blood andtissue typed and even had aCT scan on her liver. Shelearned Feb. 12 that shewas a match and phonedBertram while he was onvacation to give him thegood news.

“I feel privileged to beable to do this for anotherhuman being,” she said.

Bertram, at 6 feet 7 inch-es, is much taller than the5-foot Minton. But doctorsassured him that her kidneyis a good match.

Minton said her threeolder sisters were not sur-

prised that she would vol-unteer a body part.

“I’m not married and Ihave no children,” she said.“It was somebody in needand I wanted to help. I’mkind of strong-willed andit’s my decision.”

Minton has receivedtransplants, too: a cadaverligament in a knee and a tis-sue transplant on an eyeduring cataract surgery.

Doctors at Christ Hospitalare awaiting the final OK toperform the surgery May25. It will involve three tosix weeks of recovery forMinton and six to eightweeks of recovery forBertram.

Typically, within a fewmonths after the removal ofone kidney, the remainingkidney enlarges andassumes about 90 percentof the function the kidneyshad prior to donation. Thelife expectancy and generalhealth of the living donor

are not affected by donatinga kidney.

Bertram has been asinger and keyboardist withthe local rock band Montagefor about 30 years, as wellas a computer technicalworker at Winton Woods for

the past four years. He saidhe’ll try to thank Minton byliving his life more fully.

“You’ve got to live lifethe best you can and makeher feel it was worth it tomake that kind of sacrifice,”he said.

AwardsJoy Lao, a senior chemical engi-

The award is given in recognitionof students who have shown a com-mitment to multicultural awarenessthrough leadership and academicachievement.

Dean’s listDavid Hood was named to the

spring dean’s high honors list at Mari-etta College.

GraduatesKristin Barnes graduated from

Ohio University following the winterterm. She earned a bachelor of artsdegree in English.


They were awakened inthe middle of the night andduring class, scrambling tofigure out whether theirnewborns wanted a bottle,to burp, or, worst of all, anew diaper.

Luckily, students inTerry Owen’s Child Devel-opment Class at Finney-town High School didn’thave to be parents for long.

The Baby, Think it Overprogram assigned lifelikenewborn babies to eachstudent for several daysand nights.

The 7-pound bundles ofcomputer technology werelinked to Owen’s classroomcomputer and to the stu-dent via a wrist band.

“When they cry orchime, you have to figureout whether they’re hun-gry or want to be rocked,”said Anna McClain, 17.

“I learned really quicklythat I’m not ready to be amom. Even though I workat a day care and reallylove kids, I’m not ready formy own.”

That seemed to be theconsensus of students.

“She woke me up sixtimes during the night,”

said Christina Dozer, 18.“It was interesting when

three of us took our babiesto the mall to shop forprom dresses. The babieslook real and we got a lotof looks.”

Owen said the idea ofthe program, which shereintroduced this year, is toeducate and inform.

The program is designed,she said, to focus on Sud-den Infant Death Syn-drome. The computer notes

immediately if one of thebabies is put on its stomachfor any length of time.

“The students are learn-ing what a commitmentparenthood is,” she said.“They quickly realize that ababy rules their world andthey’re understanding theyneed to choose to be par-ents.

“It makes them all betterparents when the timecomes.”

Her class has nine

babies, five of which werebought with a grant fromthe Finneytown SchoolsEducation Foundation.

Four already were in

storage from the last timeOwen taught this unit,only those four aren’t com-puter savvy.

Students are graded onthe computer’s log of careand negligence.

It can tell Owen, amongother things, whether theyprovided proper head sup-port, fed their baby on timeevery time and if a diaperwent unchanged.

“I had no idea a babycried this much,” saidAmanda Dukes, 17. “Iknow after this that a babydefinitely isn’t my futureplans.”

From attending prom toplaying sports to helpingout with the spring musical,this year’s exchange stu-dents at Winton WoodsHigh School have made themost of their year awayfrom home.

Anan “Nan” Chanyongfrom Thailand, Sarah Hass-denteufel from Germany,Misaki Horiba from Japanand Florencio Eworo Ayin-gono from Spain have allembraced their Americanhigh school experience,even if there were someadjustments along the way.

Three of the four stu-dents say the language wasthe hardest adjustment tomake.

“I had trouble pronounc-ing some words becausesome sounds aren’t in mylanguage,” said Chanyong.

“I can’t always explainwhat I mean,” said Horiba.

Ayingono said that whilehe earned good grades inEnglish class at home inSpain, his parents said hisEnglish was the worst. “I’velearned how to speak (Eng-lish) this year,” he said.

For Hassdenteufel, theadjustments were to theAmerican lifestyle. Sheadmits that many of herimpressions of what lifewould be like came fromwatching American TVshows.

Ayingono agreed, saying“I had a different view ofthe United States before Icame here, and I was wrongon a lot of things.” He saidhe would watch Americansports and movies andwould “see the fun and notthe rules.”

“You only see the happysides,” added Hassden-teufel.

Even with the adjust-ments they had to make, allof the students say they’rehappy they’ve had theexperience.

“Don’t be stuck in onecountry. This world is reallybig, and you have to knowit,” said Ayingono, who haslived in Africa, Europe andAmerica.

Hassdenteufel saidexchange experiences areimportant because “if weknow about other countries

we’re more interconnected.”Chanyong said his experi-ence has been fun andencourages other studentsto “see and do new thingsyou’ve never done before.

“My highlight has beenmeeting new friends everyday,” said Hassdenteufel.

Horiba agreed. “I tried tomake as many friends as Ican, and I appreciate all thestudents here,” she said.

Chanyong added that hewas impressed on the firstday of school with howfriendly the other studentswere to him.

He also mentioned thefriends he made while play-ing on the junior varsityand varsity soccer teamsand the varsity tennis teamat the high school.

Ayingono said he’s“made friends everywhere.”

“This experience hasmade me more open to peo-ple,” said Hassdenteufel.“It’s easier to talk to peo-ple.”

Horiba agrees. “It’sopened my mind and helpedme find new things aboutmyself.”

The McAuley track teamwon a district championshipfor the first time in morethan 15 years in 2009 andthe Mohawks repeated theaccomplishment in 2010.

“We’re a very well-rounded team,” head coachKim Flynn said. “We scoredin 14 events and had somestandout performances.”

Sophomore DaniellePfeifer won district champi-onships in the 800-meterrun and the 1600-meter runand was also part of the dis-trict champion 4x800-meterrelay, along with JordanThiery, Sarah Pierce andEmily York.

Senior Lundyn Thomp-son was the other big stand-out, as she finished secondin the discus and won a dis-

trict title in the shotput. Shealso broke the school’s shot-put record this season, arecord that had been stand-ing since the 1980s.

“Lundyn scores us a lotof points at every meet andPfeifer was phenomenal lastyear and has been againthis year,” Flynn said.

Other top performerswere Kerry Caddell, whofinished second in the 200-meter dash, and TaylorBove, who was second inthe long jump. Pierce is alsoa strong distance runnerand finished third in the800-meter run.

At the regional meet, the4x800-meter relay fell justshort of qualifying for state,with a fifth-place finish.Thompson also finishedfifth in the discus.

Flynn said the team thisseason is comparable to the

one the Mohawks had lastseason overall, as the twoteams had nearly identicalscores at the district meet.The only difference is in thestrengths of each team.

The Mohawks are muchstronger in the distanceraces with more depth thisseason and also in the longjump, as freshman Bove hasbeen a standout in thatevent. Freshman Rebecca“Kansas” Ashton has beenimpressive in the hurdlesand finished fourth in the100-meter hurdles at thedistrict meet. Thiery andjuniors Jen Beck and EmilyYork have been big contrib-utors in the relays.

“Ashton has made anincredible improvement thisseason,” Flynn said. “Forher to make it as a freshmanin the 100 hurdles is a bigaccomplishment.”

Flynn said the school’srecent success has improvedthe enthusiasm around theprogram.

“A lot of girls are work-ing really hard becausethey’ve seen other hardworkers have success andit’s sort of snowballed in agood way,” she said.

The team has had a lotof personal records at theend of the season and theMohawks should be strongfor a third straight year in2011 as McAuley has onlytwo seniors.

Thompson will be espe-cially difficult to replace,and the other senior is apole vault standout, LizzieHelpling. McAuley willbring back all their competi-tors from the track events.

“We had some juniorsget hurt at the end of theseason too so if everyone is

healthy, we have a lot ofpotential next year,” Flynnsaid. “This group workedreally hard and it paid off. Itwas a great group of girls.”

The St. Xavier HighSchool track team sentnumerous qualifiers to theDivision I Regional Meet,which was May 26 and 28at Welcome Stadium inDayton, but was unable toadvance anyone to state.

“It didn’t go well,” St. Xhead coach Oliver Masonsaid. “We didn’t do as wellas we would’ve liked to.”

Seniors Chris Hansonand Cory Ochs finished fifthin the 1,600 and the 300hurdles, respectively. Han-son (4:26.08) finished lessthan a second shy of state,as Mason senior Matt Kahl(4:25.34) placed fourth.Ochs (38.61), who qualifiedfor state last year, finished16-hundreths of a secondbehind Springfield seniorAlex Gaskins (38.45).

Senior Eric Gruenbacher(9:52.66) and junior RyanSchneiber (52-10.00) fin-ished sixth in the 3,200 and

shot put, respectively, whilesenior Michael Archboldwas eighth in the 400(51.14).

The 4x800 relay team –comprised of Hanson andjuniors Andrew Bachmann,Shomo Das and RobbieFlanigan – finished seventh(8:06.83).

The 4x100, 4x200 and4x400 relays did notadvance past preliminaries.Comprising those teamswere Archbold, Ochs, seniorBrian Donahue and juniorsEric Freeman, Tim Bryson,Jake Brodbeck and WilliamSherman.

“We had some bad hand-offs,” Mason said.

Sherman was 11th in theprelims in the 100 (11.12)

St. X finished second atdistricts to Mason. TheBombers totaled 92 points,while Mason had 147.Withrow (67), Moeller (47)and Walnut Hills (47)rounded out the top five.

“We started off shakyand then did as we expect-

ed,” Mason said.St. X also finished sec-

ond at the Greater CatholicLeague South divisionchampionship to La Salle.

The Bombers amassed77.5 points, while La Sallehad 106. Elder (48) andMoeller (24.5) were thirdand fourth, respectively.

“We might be the onlyleague in the state with fourteams, which doesn’t makefor a well-balanced meet,”Mason said. “It’s easier forpeople who aren’t as goodto score points.”

St. X finished 12th atregionals.

The Bombers return sev-eral seniors-to-be next year,which bodes well for nextseason.

“Going to state is a com-bination of four years ofhard work and dedication,”Mason said. “It’s the ulti-mate dream. It’s rare.”

Last week’s questionDoes the Reds’ early-sea-

son success make it morelikely that you will go to agame, or more games, thisseason? Why or why not?

“It doesn’t influence my deci-sion to go or not to go. I lovegoing to the Reds games and tryto catch a game (at least) once ayear. It’s always fun and the sta-dium is (still) so beautiful with agreat view. If they don’t winthe night I’m there, no big deal –you win some and you losesome. I’m a Reds fan through thehighs and lows.”

“My son and I were makingplans for going to at least oneReds game this summer. It wouldbe our third since The GreatAmerican Ball Park opened a fewyears ago. Obviously we’re gladthe Reds are doing so well. Wemight go to more than one gamedue to that.”

R.V.

“I hate to weigh in with such aboring answer, but I have to behonest. I’ve reached the agewhere I’m not terribly interestedin watching baseball, either on TVor in person. But there was a time...”

B.B.

“I really don’t care where theReds are in the standings. I like togo anytime the Cubs are in town.Was born and raised in Wrigleyand am sticking with them tillthey win.

“However, Great American BallPark, while not Wrigley Field, is agreat venue for baseball, especial-ly compared to that stadium mon-strosity called Riverfront. Went

just a week ago to see St. Louisand really enjoyed the atmos-phere. So support your team, thefacilities, the city, even if they arethe Reds.”

J.Z.

“It has been years since Ienjoyed a Reds game. I was therewhen Pete hit 4,192 and I alsowent to a World Series game yearsago.

“I enjoyed the Big RedMachine of the 1970s. The Redsof the last 25 years have notimpressed me very much. Howev-er, if they continue to perform Icould take in a day game.”

J.S.D.

“It really doesn’t matter, I amnot a baseball fan. I follow thescores and the standings only. Ifind the game is too slow. I preferthe NFL and the NHL.”

M.A.M.

“We are fortunate to haveweekday season tickets; some weuse and some we pass on to oth-ers. We’ll be going to as manygames as we always do becausewe love to watch the Reds play.However, having a contendingteam makes each game moreimportant and more fun to watch.I’m happy to say we’ve seen twowalk-off home runs, several comefrom behind wins, and only oneloss!”

Did you know the averagehome stores between 60 and 90pounds of hazardous products?

These products include pesti-cides, fertilizers, automotive flu-ids, cleaning supplies and otherchemicals which, when managedor disposed of improperly, pose athreat to human health and theenvironment.

When used, stored, and dis-posed properly, these productscan make our lives easier.

However, improper disposal ofthese products can injure yourwaste hauler. Sometimes, thesechemicals are illegally dumped orpoured down sewers and intowaterways.

Other residents store the prod-ucts for years in their basementsand garages which can increasethe risk of spills or, even worse,accidental poisonings.

In light of these facts, the

Hamilton Coun-ty Solid WasteM a n a g e m e n tDistrict contin-ues to offer resi-dents a conven-ient opportunityto properly dis-pose of the haz-ardous materi-als stored intheir homes.The free drop-off program isopen throughOctober 16.

This year, there is a new loca-tion for the drop-off. The locationand operating hours are: 4879

Management District.

The city of Cincinnati is theonly American city that owns arailroad.

The idea began with a publicmeeting in 1835 to expand thecities economy by creating a rail-road south to purchase and sellCincinnati’s products. Theprospects looked good for a railline from Cincinnati to Louisvilleand Charleston, after Cincinnatisent representatives to the South-western Railroad Convention.

Then the financial crash of1837 stopped all plans. And theylearned that Ohio’s Constitutionprohibits counties, cities andtowns from becoming owners inany joint stock company. The rail-road was doomed. Hopes roseagain during the Civil War whenGen. Ambrose Burnside wanted amilitary railroad to the south. Sur-veys were made, but other warevents overshadowed the projectand it, too, was abandoned.

Cincinnati still wanted a south-ern railroad. In 1868 E.A. Fergu-son put forth a proposal that thecity of Cincinnati itself shouldbuild and own a southern railway.His idea was endorsed by thepopulation and the city of Cincin-nati spent $578.90 lobbying themeasure in Columbus. The lawwas passed May 9, 1869.

A jubilant City Council adoptedplans for the railroad and pro-

posed a bond issue for $10 mil-lion to build the railway. The issuepassed and there was celebratingin the streets.

Nine bands paraded the streetall day. The fire bells rang at six inthe morning, at noon, at three inthe afternoon. The Superior Courtof Cincinnati appointed the firstboard of directors. They were:Edward A. Ferguson, Richard M.Bishop, Miles Greenwood,William Hooper and Philip Heidel-bach. Miles Greenwood becamethe first president.

The last two hurdles would begetting the funds and getting per-mission to go into cities. In 1870Tennessee passed the TennesseePublic Act 291 allowing the rail-road in. However, Kentucky –Louisville specifically – did notwant the railroad in the state. Butthe central and eastern Kentuck-ians wanted it. Two years laterafter much debate Kentuckyapproved the measure and therailroad was off and running.

Contracts were let and workbegan. In 1875, the $10 millionin bonds was used up. And thetrustees were forced to ask thecity for an additional six milliondollars. Doubts about the projectbegan to surface, but $6 millionbonds were approved by votersand work continued. In 1877 aportion of the railroad opened

from Ludlow toSomerset. Butthe trusteeswere again outof money, andwere forced togo to the votersagain. Another$2 million wasapproved. In1879 the lastspike was driven in place. Therailroad was finally finished.

In 1880, the first freight traincompleted the route from Cincin-nati to Chattanooga, and a pas-senger train followed a monthlater. To celebrate the railroadscompletion trainloads of southerndignitaries came to Cincinnati fora grand banquet at Music Hallwhich was described as thelargest banquet ever attended inthe United States.

Doubts are gone today aboutthe railroad. It has proven to be agreat moneymaker for the city. Attimes the street lamps on moonlitnights were turned off to meetinterest payments, but therewards are traffic supremacy,and a substantial return on theinvestment.

How grown up are we?At old-time county fairs

young men sought todemonstrate their physicalstrength by swinging a hugemallet and striking a mat.

It propelled a weightupward. If it hit and rang thebell, it was evidence theywere macho. What are someways to measure how devel-oped we are inside?

“The test of a psycholog-ically mature person, andtherefore spiritually mature,will be found in his or hercapacity to handle what onemight call the Triple As:anxiety, ambiguity andambivalence,” writes Dr.James Hollis in “Creating ALife.”

Anxiety, as we well know,is the agitation and stress wefeel when we anticipateimpending risk, danger,catastrophe or misfortune.The future threat may be realor imagined, internal orexternal, but always uncom-fortable. Recall how we feelwhen called upon to speak toa crowd.

Ambiguity is a confusinggrayness. It flows from ourego’s desire for clarity andsecurity. Yogi Berra createsambiguity when he advises,“If you come to a fork in theroad – take it!”

We want life, God, andthe world to be in a perma-nently knowable condition.The younger or less maturewe are the more we becomefrustrated by the absence ofclarity.

The older and moremature we become doesn’tbanish the ambiguities andanxieties of life, but we aremore able to tolerate them aspart of life. Our experiencesand maturation render usmore humble, understanding

of the human condition, andfamiliar with mysteries.

Ambivalence is experi-encing contradictory feelingsor attitudes toward the sameperson, object, event or situ-ation.

Conflicting feelings areoften strong toward parentssince they are agents of bothdiscipline and affection.Spouses may also noticesporadic love/hate senti-ments toward the other. Thepolarity of such feelings canbe temporarily disturbingwhen they occur.

Some find them so trou-blesome to admit that they

often repress one of thepoles of the tension.

There are other kinds ofambivalence besides rela-tional ones – such as uncer-tainty or indecisivenessabout a certain course ofaction, ambivalence about ajob, religion, sibling, etc.

Children at first needunequivocal messages asthey begin to grow. Beforematurity we are not in pos-session of capacities fordealing with the ambiguitiesand ambivalences of life.

We encounter them aspainful contradictions. Evenat a tender age we experi-

ence both gratification andfrustrations from the sameparents.

At first we attempt tomanage our ambiguity andambivalence with variousstrategies, many of themunhealthy. We may bluntour feelings, repress, distractourselves, dissociate, deny,and later on develop addic-tions or personality traits.

Eventually we’re meantto learn healthier ways. Welearn to recognize and holdthe tensions between oppo-sites such as love/hate, darkside/good side, vindictive-ness/forgiveness, and

choose to acknowledge butdiscipline the undesirable.

We come to see we areimperfect humans living inam imperfect world, yetstruggling for wholeness asa person. Life containsmany rich experiences aswell as paradox and chal-lenging mysteries.

In the midst of living ourquestions, which are oftenenveloped in anxiety, ambi-guity and ambivalence, poetRainer Maria Rilke offerspractical advice: “Bear withpatience all that is unre-solved in your heart, and tryto love the questions them-selves, as if they were roomsyet to enter or books writtenin a foreign language. Don’tdig for answers that can’t be

given youyet: youc a n n o tlive themnow. Foreverythingmust belived. Livethe ques-tions now,p e r h a p st h e n ,someday,you will gradually, withoutnoticing, live into theanswer.”

It willbe aLebanesedinner thisS u n d a yfor mys o n ,Shane, toce lebratehis birth-day.

I haveto askwhat he

wants, but I’m pretty suretabbouleh and fried kibbeewill be requested. I’ll bemaking stuffed grape vineleaves, too, since the wildgrape leaves are the perfectsize right now.

I wish I had some of Joeand Mary Lou Zarig’shomemade Lebanese flat-bread to serve with it – Joeand Mary Lou are greatLebanese cooks and bakers.

I’ll also make somebaklava.

I love preparing my fam-ily’s Lebanese recipes and Ican never get enough.

That’s why you’ll findme at the St. Anthony ofPadua’s Lebanese festivalSunday, June 6, from noonto 8 p.m. The church is onVictory Parkway.

My mom’s tabboulehTraditionally, this is

served with wild grapevineleaves to act as a scoop, orleaf lettuce, or flatbread.

This is a real “go totaste” recipe, wonderful as amain meal, stuffed into pitapockets for lunch, or as aversatile, healthy side dish.

Tabbouleh is a healthysalad using bulgur wheat(great for lowering choles-terol and contains vitaminE) and an abundance ofsummer vegetables.

It’s all the rage in localdelis, and is expensive tobuy.

1 cup bulgur wheat4-6 tomatoes, chopped1 bunch green onions,

chopped1 bunch parsley,

chopped1 bunch radishes,

chopped (optional but good)1-2 regular cucumbers,

peeled and chopped, or 1English cucumber, chopped

1 bell pepper, chopped

2-3 teaspoons cumin, orto taste

Several sprigs mintleaves, chopped (opt.)

Several sprigs basilleaves, chopped (opt.)

Salt and pepper to taste1⁄4 cup canola oil, or to

taste

Place wheat in bowl andrinse under cool water threetimes. Leave about 1⁄4 inch ofwater after the third rinse ontop of the wheat to soften it.

Let sit for 15 minutes oruntil water is absorbed.Squeeze to drain anyremaining liquid out.

Meanwhile, mix yourvegetables:

Add all vegetables inlarge bowl, mixing gently.Add cumin, mint, basil andsalt and pepper. Add wheat,and mix well.

Add oil, a little at a time,and mix. Taste for season-ings. Add lemon juice ifdesired.

Serves six to eight as amain meal, 10 as a firstcourse.

Tips from Rita’s KitchenBulgur wheat is some-

times called cracked wheat.It looks a little bit like

cous cous and is creamy totan in color. It comes in sev-eral grinds.

I like the fine or mediumgrind. Some folks like to puta squeeze of lemon juice inthe salad.

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

Arlington Memorial Gar-dens recently began Phase Iof a five- to 10-year expan-sion which will includedevelopment of about sevenof the 30-plus acres ofundeveloped land held inreserve and also a secondchapel and mausoleum.

Once the land is devel-oped, Arlington will cover165 acres.

Although Arlington isnowhere near capacity, theavailable grave inventory inmany gardens is becomingsomewhat limited.

“Our philosophy hasalways been to provide awide range of options andexpansion will enable us tocontinue that tradition,”said Dan Applegate, presi-dent of Arlington MemorialGardens.

“Since our founding in1934, we’ve handled morethan 43,000 dispositions(including traditional earthburials, mausoleumentombments and the less-traditional cremation),” saidApplegate.

“When you factor inthose numbers with our cur-rent average of 900-plus

burials per year, expandingour facilities is a necessity,”he said.

“There has been a not sosubtle shift in funeral andburial rituals during the pastdecade or so. Both aboveground entombments (mau-soleum burials), and crema-tions are on the rise –although not as dramatical-ly here in Cincinnati as theyare nationally,” said Apple-gate.

“These consumer trendsare dictating the variousphases of the project to alarge extent,” he said.

While one goal of Phase Iis to develop land for tradi-tional earth burial spaces,another equally important,but longer-term, goal is toestablish the “footprint” fora new chapel mausoleum tobe built sometime within thenext 10 years.

In the interim, Arlingtonwill embark on an expan-sion of its existing LakesideChapel Mausoleum torespond to the increasingdemand for entombment.

That expansion will pro-vide an additional 400crypts.

“The back 30,” as Apple-gate likes to refer to theundeveloped lands, “arecurrently being cleared andgraded. They were largelypopulated with dense andovergrown trees, many ofwhich no longer bloomed orbore leaves.

The newly developedarea is the result of Arling-ton’s Land Usage MasterPlan that was designed in2005 by HWH Architects ofCleveland.

The master plan willenable Arlington to intro-duce some new and inter-esting features over time.

One immediate andnotable landscape elementwill be a new lake thatincludes a waterfall, whichshould be completed by thisautumn.

Landform Services ofFairfield was the successfulbidder and is serving as thegeneral contractor for thenearly $500,000 project.

A sluggish economyhasn’t stopped a handful ofnew restaurants from open-ing in Colerain Township,and the township’s econom-ic development director sayshe is cautiously optimisticthe growth will continue.

Qdoba Mexican Grill,Golden Dragon Buffet, andGrill and the Fusion WokSushi Bar all opened inrecent weeks, adding to thearray of restaurants resi-dents can choose from inthe township.

And Five Guys Burgersand Fries is coming to theStone Creek Towne Center.Joe Carroll, a partner in thefranchise in this area, sayshe hopes the fesh-casualburger place will be open bythe end of summer.

Stone Creek’s big three,Quaker Steak and Lube,Olive Garden and Logan’sRoadhouse are all top gross-ing units in their franchisesin the Greater Cincinnatiarea, according to ColerainTownship Economic Devel-

opment Director FrankBirkenhauer.

He said establishedrestaurants are raising theirgame: Chuck E. Cheesecompleted a major renova-tion, Red Lobster Restau-rant got a makeover and theFrisch’s Big Boy on thenorth end of ColerainAvenue just completed aninterior remodel.

There’s other redevelop-ment. Colerain Townshipzoning administrator SusanRoschke says America’sBest Contact and Eyeglasswill take over the space for-merly used by Quiznos andMaui Tan, at 8401 ColerainAve. in front of Wal-Mart.

Birkenhauer said therehas been interest in thespace bigg’s left when itclosed earlier this month.He has spoken with a hand-ful of prospective tenants.

The township alsoremains in negotiations forthe corner property at Col-erain Avenue and Spring-dale Road, formerly occu-pied by the BP Station.Birkenhauer said the town-ship has done its due dili-

gence regarding possibleenvironmental issues andthe township is on solidground.

“We are not taking on apotential liability here,” hesaid.

He said the receivers forNorthgate Mall have plansas well, which include tak-ing down the old cinemabuilding in the four to sixweeks.

Birkenhauer said he hasa lot of meetings set up laterthis month at the Interna-tional Council of ShoppingCenters Global Retail RealEstate Convention in LasVegas.

He said with the largenumber of out-of-stateproperty owners, the con-vention is a good opportuni-ty to meet with the ownersof the township’s commer-cial property and attractsome new retailers andrestaurants to the communi-ty as well.

“About 70 percent ofretail leases are initiatedthere,” he said. “There wasa lot of interest and we havea lot of meetings. If evenhalf of them go through, wewill be doing very well.”

Local students share their attitude toward disabilities

I go to Winton Woods Elementary. On the bus, at places likeMcDonald’s, and other places, my family and I see people withdisabilities.

My mom told me that it is easy to see handicaps with our eyes,but some people have challenges we cannot see.

These people may look like other people on the outside, but theycan have problems that are in their bones, their hearts, or theirminds.

It is sad and scary when my mom’s heart hurts, because shelooks okay on the outside, but her heart feels bad sometimes. This isbecause she has ASHD. I feel sad because when she has pain shemakes a sound, but I cannot see what is wrong, or help her with it.

My mom also has problems called neuropathy in her spine, andher spine is bent. This is called scoliosis. Some people who don’tknow about her problems with her body even have called her fakewhen she uses her cane, or parked in the handicap space.

A doctor gave her a prescription for the cane, and the handicapcard that goes on the rearview mirror. But, because she looks okayon the outside, some people do not understand.

I love my mom, and I miss that she used to be able to pick meup, run better, and walk and play more with me.

My mom tells me not to use the word “retard” or “retarded,” or tomake fun of other people with handicaps or disabilities we can orcannot see.

Just like we each have our own opinion, we each have our ownchallenges.
